| Summary |
"Everyone who is interested in child psychology--parents, teachers, and other youth counselors--has been perplexed at one time or another by what appear to be capricious variations in children's behavior. The present book was written to disseminate more widely what is now known about child growth and behavior. It was especially designed for the serious student who generally prefers an integrated interpretation of the research literature. Since psychological generalizations and theories are seldom simple, considerable effort has been expended to help the student over the rough spots. The literary style is simple and straightforward; theoretical terms are introduced only when needed and then with explicit definitions; the discussion includes numerous examples drawn from common observation. The contents of this volume should be understandable to the average college freshman--with occasional assistance from the instructor. Although this book was explicitly written for undergraduate students in colleges and universities, some instructors may also find it a fruitful point of departure for introducing graduate students in psychology and education to the research literature on children's psychological growth. Approximately one thousand research and theoretical references are cited to support the general discussion. Although these references by no means exhaust the relevant literature, they do include a large proportion of the more adequately conducted studies in the field"--Preface.
